C.—Trade in gen eral remains quiet, and considerable complaint is noted about the slowness of collections. Rain in some sections has been of considerable benefit to cot ton, but . moisture is badly needed in other sections. < CHATTANOOGA—Wholesale trade in dfy goods and shoes is good.

ATLANTA—Retail trade shows some improvement. Mobbers report some in crease in sales, and a more hopeful feel ing prevails, due to good rain during the week after a long drouth. In some in stances replanting is necessary, but as a rule cotton stands axe fair. SAVANNAH—Wholesale dealers re port that business is only fair, wtih collections slow. Retail trade is fair to good, but collections s'low. Scattered rains have been of benefit to cotton. Crop conditions are more promising in this section than at this time last year. BIRMINGHAM—Feeling, is optimistic Lumber is in better demand, though the price is off. Dealers in heavy hardware and mining supplies have good busi ness, and some orders have been booked for future shipment. Groceries and pro duce are active. Early fruits find a ready market. Trade in dry goods is fairly active, while dealers in hats and caps have done better than at this time last year, with some good future or ders booked. Building material was quite active until the present week. At present there is only a fair demand, due to strikes of carpenters, plumbers, structural iron workers and brick ma sons. There are two skyscrapers, a ho tel and one twenty-story office building under way as well, but owing to stri w“ork has been suspended. Collections are quiet. A slight increase in cotton acreage is reported. The plant is in very good condition, and present rams will be beneficial.

Trade, wholesale and retail, is quiet. Collections are slow. Corn and cotton show progress. NEW ORLEANS.—General conditions in Louisiana seem to be fairly good, with a favorable outlook. jod- bers, however, report business some what at a standstill, and re tail dealers say business is be low that of last year. Collections are keeping up fairly well. Crops are do ing well, and good results are looked for, although It is not thought likely that sugar planters will average much above half .a crop. The ;water has re ceded In most of the overflowed locali ties and planting has been accom plished, and farmers expect to grow a fairly good cotton crop. THE CROPS. Winter wheat conditions have dete riorated slightly from early almost perfect prospects, the chief falling off being in Kansas, Oklahoma and parts of Illinois. In California the crop has suffered also. All of this is the result of early dry weather now being re vealed. Still, the prospects are for a bumper crop as a whole. In the north west there has been plenty of cool, wet weather, and warm growing tempera tures are needed for spring wheat. Wet weather delays corn planting west of the Mississippi. Most of that east of the Mississippi has been put in, but in Iowa and Nebraska planting is back ward and the area seeded is only 25 to 75 per cent of that contemplated. Oats west of the Mississippi look well, but cold, dry weather east of the river has caused deterioration. Still, the season is early enough to make a good crop, though much below a year ago. Pas tures generally are in good shape in the west, and the first crop of alfalfa is a large one. Southern crop reports are more uni formly favorable. The drought in the southeast has been broken by showers, and the* crops there and westward are doing well. In the lower Mississippi valley the sugar crop area is smaller than a year ago, when the yield was short. Reports from the hurley tobacco dis trict of Kentucky are that 16 to 25 pgr cent of the crop has been planted. The 1912 crop has been virtually all sold. COL THDS. 6. FELDER DENIES .

THH HOrSE THAT SELLS MORE ELGIN WATCHES * THAN ANY OTHER FIRM IN THB WORLD. in Charging Atlanta police officials with a conspiracy to shield and protect the murderers of Mary Phagan and styling Chief Newport Lan- fdrd as “the Lieutenant Becker of Atlanta and controlling genius" of the plot, Colonel Thomas B. Felder late Saturday gave out an emphatic statement vehemently denying the attempted bribery aijd other, charges hurled at him by the police in the now famous dictograph records. That a dictograph was used Colonel Felder doubts, and if one was used in the Williams house, he asserts, the record was changed by the per sons using the record. This he tends to establish by showing that the record quotes him now in the first person singular and again in the second person singular. The record, he asserts, w..s “framed.” Colonel Felder asserts that the plot was hatched with the day Leo M. Frank was arrested and maintains that since that time the police have done nothing else save protect the two suspects and obstruct the work of the Burns agency and Solicitor Dorsey. . He attacks A. S. Colyar ip a half dozen affidavits appended to his lengthy statement. Colyar, he says, is morally and mentally irrespon sible and merely a tool in the hands of Lanford and his agents. He charges that the Coleman affidavit, imputed by the police to be a repudiation of Felder’s connection with the Phagan investigation, was obtained from J. W. Coleman under pressure. The police plot, he charges, involves the Inkertons and was organ ized by Chief Lanford and the Atlanta operatives for the Pinkertons employed the day after the Phagan murder by the National Pencil com pany. HIS RELATIONS WITH COLYAR. . The statement given out by Colonel Felder, as he had announced Friday, constitutes a narrative of the events leading up to the confer ences in Williams House No. 2, where the dictograph was operated by Colyar and G. C. Febuary. Colonel Felder says that he met Colyar a year or so ago during the Blease investigation and was then convinced of the" man’s irre sponsibility. Colyar, he says, came to his office recently and began a discussion of the Phagan case representing that the police were sup pressing evidence. Colyar, so the statement sets forth, claimed to have or could get evidence showing the whole police plot and affidavits involv ing the moral character of both Chief Lanford and Chief Beavers. These, he said, consisted of lists of protected ‘’blind tigers” and "disorderly houses.” Colonel Felder denies offering Febuary any sum of money for his information, and says that he told the pair that he was interested in nothing hut .the Phagan matter. He advised them he says to place tin other matters before Mayor Woodward or any number of reputable Atlanta citizens, who he asserts, he was sure would take up the matter for the city’s welfare. Colonel Felder asserts that the confession held by the police from the negro Conley, setting forth that Conley wrote the notes found in the base ment of the plant of the National Pencil company, was forced from him by the police and is really not the truth. alleged distograph conversation, said to have occurred Wednesday The Atlanta Journal has in its possession a sworn copy of an afternoon In Room No. 31, of Williams House No. 2, 34-3* North Forsyth street, between Colonel Thomas B. Felder, well-known Atlanta attorney; G. C. Febuary, secretary to Chief of Detectives Newport A. Lanford, and A. S. Colyau, a citizen. In this record of the alleged dictographed conversation Colonel Felder is quoted as offering a large sum of money to Secretary Febuary if he would extract certain affidavits and papers relating to the Phagan murder mystery from the safe of Chief Lanford ana turn them over to him. Colonel Felder is also quoted as having promised immunity to Feb uary if any attempt was made to prosecute him for extracting the papers, and according to the dictograph record Colonel Felder declared to Febuary that he controlled Mayor Woodward, Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey and the judge of the criminal court. It is said that Colonel Felder offered one thousand dollars to Febuary for the papers, and that hq agreed to have the delivery of the papers and the payment of the money occur at East Lake, although he preferred that the transfer take place at the Transportation club. The alleged conversation, as reported by Stenographer George M. Gentry, nephew of Colonel W. T. Gentry, president of the Southern Bell and Cumberland Telephone companies, who it is said by detectives was stationed in room No. 32 with the earpiece of a dictograph instrument strapped over his head, is given below, as fully as the language can be quoted in this newspaper. As one of the many outgrowths of the alleged dictographed conversa tions of Colonel Thomas B. Felder, Mayor Woodward, Charlie C. Jones and E. 0. Miles, in which they are quoted as seeking evidence to impeach Police Chief James L. Beavers and Detective Chief N. A. Lanford, Chief Beavers late Saturday afternoon gave out a red-hot statement in which he charged that the vice gangsters were conspiring to oust him from office because of his activity in closing up Atlanta’s restricted district. According to Chief Beavers he has been informed that checks aggre gating $1,500 have been deposited to be given over to any woman who could get him into a room with her. “The houses have been closed eight months and they will remain closed as long as I am chief,” he says. “Those fighting me will resort to any political trick to bring my undoing. I am fully advised as to what they are doing and all I ask is that the decent people of this city continue to give me their support.” E, B. P. TIES STOCK OP Members of National Commit tee Consider Advisability of Calling Convention (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 24.—Members of the Republican national executive com mittee assembled here today to take stock of the party since the November defeat, look over the field for the fu ture and determine whether a meeting of the national committee should be called to consider the advisability of holding a special national convention. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the na tional committee, who issued the call for the executive committee, reached Washington early in the day and con ferred with several Republican leaders. “I have talked with only three or four members of the executive commit tee," said Mr. Hilles, “and I find that some of them favor calling a meeting of th*e national committee. I am not .sure that a majority of th'em are of that opinion." When the committee met it had a me morial from the conciliation committee of*’* Republican Progressives, headed by Senator* Cummins, appointed as a result of the recent Chicago conference. This formulated a request that an early meeting of the national commit tee he called. It included a statement of the reforms proposed at the Chicago conference, which would provide for par ty recognition of the primary system of selecting delegates to the national con ventions and a change of basis of rep resentation to conform to the voting strength of the party in the various states, a change directed against the heavy representation from the south. Upon the merits of proposed reforms the executive committee does not pass. As far as contemplated reorganization plans are concerned, the only thing the committee may decide is whether to call the national committee. Many leaders assert that a convention is not neces sary to carry out contemplated reorgan ization plans, that the committee can enact them. The Progressive Republi cans, however, insist a convention is necessary. APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE BY BLEASE (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., May 24.—Governor Blease today reappointed Messrs. Arth ur Lynah, B. H. Rutledge, and John Marshall as members of the Dispensary board for Charleston county. Mr. Lynah was recommended by the delegation, Mr. Rutledge by the majority of the mayors of the county, Mayor Grace having recommended a Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Marshall was recommended by the coun ty board of education. The governor today appointed Dr. E. W. Pressly, of Clover, from the Fifth congressional district, vice Dr. W. W. Fennell, of Rock Hill, whos^ term ex pired, and Dr. John Lyon/of Green wood, from the Third congressional district, vice Dr. P. G. Ellesor, whose term had expired, as members of the state board of medical examiners, they having been nominated by the South Carolina Medical association. GOVERNMENT GOES AFTER COTTON CORNER OF 1909 Re-indictment of Hayne, Brown, Scales and Thomp son Sought (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 24.—The depart ment of justice has <$kcided to seek the reindictment of Frank Hayne and Wil liam P. Brown, of New Orleans; Eugene Scales, of Texas and Colonel Robert M. Thompson, of New York, on the charge that they conspired to corner the cot ton crop of 1909. This was learned today when sub- penas were issued by United States Dis trict Attorney Marshall for the appear ance next week before the fedefal grand jury of the witnesses upon whose tes timony the indictment now standing against them was found. The document contains flaws, it is understood, which the government fears might stand in the way of conviction. It charged that, with James A. Patten, of Chicago, the defendants conspired to Create a bull pool with the intention of artificially raising the price of cotton in order to obtain a profit of $10,000,000. Patten pleaded guilty last February to the sixth count of the indictment, known as the “contract count," which alleged that the defendants entered into contracts to buy up all the raw cotton porduced in 1909 and to hold it out of the market until November, 1910. He was fined $4,000, and under an agree ment between his counsel and the de partment of justice the other counts in the indictment were nolled. Patten announced in entering his plea that he was “not conscious of any moral turpitude." Messrs. Hayne, Brown and Scales professed to be indignant at his action and said that they would fight the case to the end. s Colonel Thompson re cently sailed for Europe. All five defendants originally pleaded not guilty and, with the exception of Colonel Thompson, demurred to the In dictment. The demurrer was defeated in the United States supreme court. From Infancy to Old Age a Reliable Family Laxative is Most Needed---Try This One. It is inconceivable in this day of gen eral intelligence that any family would be without a simple remedy for the minor ills of life, for often by giving such a remedy in time a serious disease can be frustrated and a life saved. For example, if at the first sign of a cold a simple laxative-tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin were given the beginning of a serious lung affection or of a typhoid fever might be avoided. And also in headaches, nervousness, etc., a small dose of this remedy would re lieve the congestion and replace dis tress with comfort. Mothers give it to tiny infants and little children, and grown people take it with equally good effect. . Thousands of good American homes are never without it, among them the home of Dr. Geo. T. Hull, Prop. Hull Drug Co., Prue, Okla. . Dr. Hull has for a number of years recommended Dr. Caldwell's Syl*up Pepsin in his practice and writes that “for stomach and bowel disorders, worms in children and a gen eral laxative-tonic it has no equal.” Syrup Pepsin saves the health of the family, and it saves doctor’s hills. It is a guaranteed cure for any form of stomach, liver and bowel trouble, con stipation, indigestion, biliousness, gas on the stomach headaches, drowsiness after eating, etc. Have no hesitancy about giving it to any member of the family, Club Standings SOUTHERN SOUTH ATLANTIC Clubs.

FELDER OFFERED TO PURCHASE FOR THE SUM OF $1,000 1 STATE OF GEORGIA: i ’ ! FULTON COUNTY: The affiant, J. W. Coleman and wife, citizens of Atlanta, Ga„ who reside at* 146 Lindsay St. The affiant is the step-father of Mary Phagan, deceased, the child who was foully murdered by a hellish brute on April 26, 1913. The affiant is in the employ-of the City of Atlanta in the Sanitary Dept. The affiant, while at the Police Station during the Coroner’s in quest, the exact day he does not remember, was approached by a man somewhat under the influence of liquor, and said to the affiant, "I am working for the law firm of T. B. Felder, and I would like to have you go to his office, as he wants to see you, and I advise you to em ploy him.” Affiant said, "No, I won’t go to his office." The Piker then said, "will you talk to Col. Felder if I bring him here?” where upon the affiant agreed to see him. He went off and came back in a few minutes with Felder. Col. Felder then said, “I want you to em ploy me to prosecute this case, it will not cost you a cent, as certain people have promised to pay me my fee, but I have got to have your consent to the employment before I can get Into the Coroner’s Jury.” The affiant told him he did not want to employ him : nd did not want to have anything to do with him, as the affiant did not know him and had never seen him before that day, and affiant did not employ him, nor did the affiant’s wife employ him, and the only information the affiant ever had that he was employed, was what he read in the news papers. Affiant has many good neighbors, and he appreciates their sym pathy for him and his broken-hearted wife, but he cannot see how they would come to employ Col. Felder without his knowledge and consent. A man met the affiant on the street and offered him one dollar to go upon the fee of this astute counsel, but he declined to accept It and told the party he had not employed Felder. Affiant is thoroughly satisfied with the great work done by Chief of Police Beavers, and Chief of Detectives Lanford and the able men working under them, as he believes, as thousands of others do in At lanta, that they have the real murderer in jail, and the affiant cannot reconcile himself to the conduct of Col. Felder, who is posing as a prosecuting attorney, and wanting five thousand dollars from the people of the City as set out in the afternoon’s papers, to bring a noted detec tive here, and according to the press of the city, large amounts have been subscribed by people the affiant does not believe are anxious to prosecute the men under arrest. The affiant means no reflection on the press of the City and the citizens of Atlanta who are in favor of Justice and fair play. Affiant will ever appreciate the sympathy that been shown him and his family by these good people, and he asks them if they have any money to spend to punish the murderer of his sweet innocent child, to stand behind the Atlanta Police Dept, and let no one mislead them.

WASHINGTON, May 24.—Speaker Clark has settled a mileage problem, one of three affecting the rights of members to their traveling allowances. He ordered a check, covering a mem ber’s mileage account, sent to William Baltz, of Millstadt, Ill., who was elected to succeed William A. Roden- berg. Mr. Baltz came to Washington to at tend the extra session, but because of the floods in Illinois hurried back home before he was able to take the oath of office. He is now suffering from ner vous prostration and may not be able to attend the extra session at all. The speaker recently ruled that Rep resentatives Baltz, Henry George, of New York, and Timothy D. Sullivan, of New York, were not to be considered on the rolls of the sixty-third congress so far as any question of a quorum was concerned. Mr. Sullivan is said to be in a sanitarium in New York, and Mr. George has been in Eufope for his health ever since the closing weeks of the last congress. Neither Mr. Sul livan nor Mr. George will be entitled to his mileage allowance until he ap pears personally in Washington. The three cases are the only mileage prob lems raised so far in this congress. American Detroit 7, St. Louis 4. Detroit g.

MACON, Ga., May 24.—Under thne present decree of Judge Emory Speer, of the United States district court, that portion of the claims against the Huff estate which have not been disputed are being paid today, amounting to a little ovei* $50,000. This represents about half principal and half interest, in some cases the interest having ac crued during the fourteen years being as large as the principal. Mrs. Jennings and Edison Huff, chil dren of Colonel Huff, have refused to accept the $6,HO given to them by the decree of the court because it does not include interest for the last four years, while all of the other amounts awardeef do. This is the principal point on which Colonel Huff has based his appeal. After the money has been paid out today there will be $33,000 left in the registry of the court in addition to five and a half acres of Improved prop erty In South Macon known as the Ar mory property. v REPUBLICANS SORE FOR WILSON’S INTERFERENCE WASHINGTON. May 24.—President Wilson was sharply criticized by Republi can senators in executive session last night for his reported interference in the senatorial fight In Maryland, where Wil liam L. Marbury is a candidate to suc ceed Senator John Walter Smith for the long term. Both are Democrats and the Republicans made capital of the fact' that a Democratic presidept apparently had seen fit to get into a fight between mem bers of his own party in a state other than his own. The criticisms were voiced during con sideration of the nomination of Sherlock Swann as postmaster at Baltimore. Swann is a declared supporter of Mar bury, but Senator Smith in a speech asked his colleagues to vote for his con firmation. In spite of this viva voce vote was so close that the vice president declared himself in doubt. On a rising vote. Swann was confirmed. The criticism of the president tonight were the first made of him by senators in executive session since he entered, the White House.

JUSTICE HEARS CHARGE OF EXTORTION ON SENATOR NEW YORK, May 24.—A supreme court justice heard in detail today the story of how State Senator Stephen J. Stilwell is alleged to have solicited money to advance legislation to the sen ate from the codes committee, of which he was chairman. The state’s chief witness, George H. Kendall, president of the New York Bank Note company, reiterated state ments he made before the senate inves tigating committee against Stiiwell, now on trial charged with bribery.
